There will always be some obscure law that benefits you in particular because of which you will define your political alliance. That is great and how it should be, under normal circumstances; but these are not normal times. You have to be able to put common decency, humanity and just general respect of greater good over anything else in today’s time. If you can’t and hide behind laws to justify your position, well I got news for you – you are as bad as Trump; don’t try to justify why your hands are tied and all, just admit it that you are a trumpkin. Don’t try to fool us, or yourselves.

I find it weird that _The Bear_ is nominated as a comedy in most award shows which is such a disservice to Only Murders In the Building because it’s such an award grabbing strategy. The Bear is not a comedy by any means! It’s a great show yes.

Started watching Killers of the flower moon. Have budgeted 3 nights to finish the movie so let’s see how I do!

Got my third clothing stuff from Patagonia and I am a fan. I like this company and I will support this company as and when I can afford their stuff!

> But it will take more than piecemeal public policy to change America’s almost pathological child neglect. At root, we must overthrow the persistent delusion of rugged individualism — the perverse American mythology that everyone must fend for themselves, no matter the cost. To raise children with the care and comfort they deserve, we must learn to think of ourselves in concert with others. We must, in short, nurture the ideal of community that America’s policies have worked to tear apart.

So well put. [Why America hates its children](https://apple.news/ASFWULrlzR6qFrTBaKXSCWQ)

Look I get it when white men get called out and how it must offend them, especially when they get called out for their politics. I hear ya. I identify as Hindu and part of majority in India too and trust me I used to get upset when the minorities called us Hindus out too. After all, “I am not like them”. It took a while to dawn on me that if “I am not like them” then I don’t need to be offended or worry about it. The people who are offended know exactly why they were offended. I hope white men who get offended realize that soon – if you are offended, maybe stop and rethink why. It’s hard but you’ll get there!

One of the more shocking aspects of my trip has been the revelation of how many people love Vivek Ramaswamy! And I mean people on my team including desis. Like WTF is wrong with ya’all? And another desi who lives in Southern California lamented on state of ca and politics there and I am like exactly what is hurting you?

At that point in work trip where everyone is just tired and wants to head back home. Meeting people in person is a lot of fun but meeting them for entire days for a week, is, not.

Didn’t sleep well last night at all. Unlike many I actually do sleep well in hotel rooms, but in spite of having a quiet room now not exactly having the best sleep. Not sure if it’s altitude adjustment or dryness somethings not jelling. I am not the only one though in team saying similar things.

I knew Denver air was dry, but boy it really is dry as heck. Feels like i need chapsticks and moisturizers galore!
